Interesting. I'm not sure dynamic dns is possible client side. Dynamic DNS was first pushed by microsoft, if I recall, and it involves updates to the DNS pushed by the dhcpd server, using information it received in the dhcp request from the client. This is the reason, for example, that the Fedora Core installer lets you either supply DHCP with a hostname or just take the hostname provided by dhcp (you almost always should enter a hostname when DDNS is configured). Either way the dhcp server pushes the info to the DNS server. Thus I don't think that whatever you are doing is really Dynamic DNS. -- .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
